North Korea doesn't like Ghost Recon 2 plot

Red Storm's upcoming mutliplatform tactical shooter Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 has North Korea up in arms, according to the American military newspaper Stars and Stripes. Apparently, the North Korean government is miffed about the story line and setting of the game, wherein a North Korean general diverts food to the military, eventually taking power of the country and invading China. Players join the elite Ghost Recon force as they intervene on the behalf of China to repel the attack.

Scenes from videos of the game, debuted at this year's E3, caught North Korea's attention. “Through propaganda, entertainment and movies,” read a recent column in the Tongil Newspaper, "[Americans] have shown everyone their hatred for us. This may be just a game to them now, but a war will not be a game for them later. In war, they will only face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths.”

Such strong words did not seem to deter Christopher Allen, a designer on the Ghost Recon 2 team. “When we developed the story background, we aimed at staying away from key current or specific events while still having a reasonable setting for a conflict,” Allen wrote. “We are focusing the story on a splinter group in the North Korean military that sparks this conflict, not the entire country.”

Despite, North Korea's protests, development will continue on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 for all consoles and the PC. All versions are set for release in November 2004. Check out the GameSpace for more information on the game.

They are just being fags about it. It is a made up story on a freaking video game. No one means a god damn thing towards them when making this game. They are just looking for another excuse to hate us a little more.

ugh, this is stupid. What is your problem? It's only a fucking game. Remember Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle of Life? Remember how China was all up in arms about it becuase they said that there are no secret organizations in China, etc. People need to grow up and just realize there's more to life than freaking out about games and movies.

Unless our game developers are are super espionage troopers that are uncovering every countries debacle one video game at a time!! Damn j00 N. K0r34nZ, j00 w|11 d|3Z0r!!

(Titus...that was quite unlike you)

Also, Israel is putting the Passion of the Christ on ban because of the anti-semitism bullshit. Also, that one game by one of the original creators of Mortal Kombat was called back to be changed because it has a part where a man was doing a prayer to Allah and they didnt' want that in there...the world is just getting to re-damn-diculus.

N. Korea powah!
